Oscillations of the Earth's Crust.
[Scribner's Mapazine.1

First among these oscillations of the
earth we may notice the slow up or down
movements which are probably of the
same general nature and of the same ORR
gin as the movements which build the con-
tinents, only much more rapid so rapid,
indeed, that they may be observed from
decade to decade, or, at least, from centu-
ry TO century. In this class we include
the demonstrating of the coast of New
Jersey, the uprising of the northern part
OF Scandinavia or the oscillation of the
shore on the coast of the Bay of Naples
| These movements which, though in a
geological sense rapid, rarely change the
level OF the land more than foot or two
in century, appear to be divided in three
distinct classes as follows: First, those
which are due to the imposition of
weight upon the earth's surface, or to the
removal of such weight A good case
of this is the deep depression of the north
ern part of North America, where the
glacial sheet came upon it, and its rapid
re-elevation when the ice melted away.
Next, those which are due to the forma-
ton of great fault or break through the
rocks as they are showed about by the
compressive forces which build mountain
chains. And, finally those which are
due to the movements of volcanic gases
and the lava which they propel toward
the crater, whence, in time, they are to be
discharged.
OF these slow movements the most in
teresting because the best known, is that
which is shown by the ruins of the temple
of Juoitor Scraps, uear Naples. We see
by the evidence of these ruins that the
temple has sunk down since the Christian
era, so that the marine animals bored into
the marble columns at the height of more
than 20 feet above the present level of
the sea it then rose up to its original
nd ic lin ill inC of ~ rQt
of one inch in three or four years. A
similar movement connected with the
process of mountain building has been
observed at Sublaco, about 40 miles to the
north of Rome. A hundred years or so
ago the church of Jenne was invisible
| from SuDiaco, while now it is in plain
view over the summit of the intervening
mountain. This change can only be eX-
planned by an alteration in the height of
| the mountain.

The st. Adams Bank Decision.

The important decision given by Judge
Wheeler of the United States Circuit
Court in the case of the receiver of the
First National bank against some of the
directors of that institution is printed in
another column. 1t will be found inter
esting not only to the sufferers by the
failure of the bank, but by bank directors
generally and by the large portion of the
general public who have investments in
bank stocks.
1t is, in brief decision that directors
of National banks who deliberately violate
the clause of the National banking act
which forbids the loaning of more than
ten per cent of the capital of the bank to any
one person, are individually liable to the
bank for the debt if the borrower does
not pay it. This is the main point of the
decision, and it calls on Mr.. Albert Sowles
and Mr.. O. A. Burton for something over
$50, 900. The fact that only two of the
directors are so held is explained by the
circumstance that two of the directors
who authorized the illegal loan are dead
while It is of no consequence to hold the
third director, Mr.. K. A. Sowles, because
the loan was made to him and he is al
ready fully holden to the bank for it, but
having failed is unable to pay it.
Following the precedents of other de-
cisions, the court held that directors are
not liable for dividends wrongfully de-
clared, unless with distinct intent to
defraud, which was not proved in this
case; but there is suggestion that divi-
dends SO declared may possibly be recov-
cred from the stockholders who received
them, though that point, not having been
raised, was not decided 1t is to be noted
that the suggestion that the first receiver
of the bank, Hon Daniel Roberts, had
not realized as much as possible from the
assets, is not countenanced by the court.
Judge Wheeler says that such does not
appear to be the fact. This suit is one of a
series brought by Mr.. Roberts, former re-
ceiver of the bank. The bringing of these
suits is understood to have caused the
removal of MI. Roberts through the pro-
curement of the parties interested. Mr..
Writers, the present receiver is to be
commended for having followed up this
one to such a successful issue.

The Grave of Grant.
From the Boston Transcript

Gen. Lew Wallace renews the suggeS-
ton that the remains of Gen. Grant should
be removed to Washington, there to find
their final resting place. He urges that
the soldiers, and especially the G. A. r.,
should request Mrs Grant to consent to
the removal, and that they should enter
into an agreement to erect IN the capital
of the nation monument worthy of
Grants fame. Limiting the individual
contributions to 81, he believes the sol
diers of the country could raise at
least 500 900 for the erection of Il
monument or memorial. so large sum
is not needed to erect a monument. One
simple yet impressive in design could be
raised for very much less money. There
seems to be growing tendency in this
country to measure the artistic value of
| such works by their cost. New York fell
| into this error when, soon after the gen
erals death, it proposed 10 raise $1,000
| coo for monument, and declared that
no less sum would suffice. Our read
ers know how complete has been the
| failure of New York TO raise this sum, or
ANYTHING approaching it. Grant was a
| great man, he was a simple man, straight
forward, scorning the ornamental or gor-
geous in his surroundings. The monu-
ment should be like him, simple, impress
sive, There is no need TO Iehearse upon
1t the story of his deeds. They are lmper-
| ishably written in the history of his coun-
| try and the world But about the unfit
ness of the generals present resting place
there can be no two opinions
| Whether buried in Washington or IN
some qniet country churchyard, his grave
| would be better placed than in the centre
| of a dreary waste of ''unimproved" real
estate whose development was expected
| to result from its selection as his sepul,
chre. The country has always regarded
the disposition of his remains as, to say
the least, unfortunate. The grave of a
great man never should be allowed 10 be
come the starting place of boom In
buildinp-lots. Washington is a better, a
worthier place for his final resting place,
| We trust that there his dust may at last
find rest

Henry Georges Theories Criticized.
IChicaRO Tribunel

Henry George quotes remark of Jeffer-
son that there were no paupers in this
country in 1914. Taking this general
statement for all the meaning that George
gives it, what then In those days there
was very little realized wealth There
were no railroads, steamboats,, canals or
turnpikes. The whole population were
pioneers trying to make farms among
the heavy forests of the Eastern States
The prairie country had not been reached
by 20 or 80 years. There was probably
not man among them worth half a
million dollars. Only few thousand
at that time were of foreign birth. for
the flood of European emigration had NOT
then set in, bringing shploads of poverty
to our, parts. 1t was not until the forties
that the avalanche of that emigration
poured the poverty stricken masses of
Europe in here. When that flood began.
the lmpecunious, crushed, propertyless
tenants came here by myriads, and ma
jority of them settled in our cities to
breed discomfort and find fault with our
society,". Government and country, which
had so freely and Hospitality opened its
doors to them. This class of emigrants
don't want State land to rent or to live on
as farmers. They are not the ones who
availed themselves of the opportunity to
udht up Jue lduu ludJ WAS IDen Tree Tor
settlement. They stuck to the cities and
still stick to them because life is pleasant
er, amusements and liquor plentier than
in the country on farms. Many of these
Europeans who have flocked to our cities
during the last dozen years spend much
OF their time plotting against their en-
ployerS, fomenting discomfort and preach
ing anarchy. They don't want to work
rented land In the country, AMI therefore
don't take very enthusiastically to Georges
scheme, except as it may tend to breed
disturbance and do mischief to the pub
lie welfare.
Henry George laments the number of
tramps as one of the evils of our present
system, apparently with no conception of
the insult to honest poverty when he
places them in Its ranks. Most of the
tramps of this country are victims of the
alcohOllc appetite, natural loafers beg
gars and drunkards. Their mission is to
sponge living out of workers. They
won't save or earn or try to lead useful,
temperate, industrious lives. They are
part of the scum and residuum of old
Europe, thrown upon our shores to he
taken care OF and supported without la
Dor. Will Henry George explain how
such parasites are to be furnished with
work when they won't labor? VIII he
explain how it is possible for this one
country to furnish work, high wages
prosperity and wealth for all the imps-
cunious, propertyless, discontinued, fault
finding enemies of American laws and in
stitutions that pour into our cities and
towns from the socialistic centres of
Europe?

The Morphine Habit.

The morphine habit is gaining ground
in this country. Its evil results are not
as openly seen as are those of alcoholism,
and consequently the public does not
realize the progress of the disease-for it
is disease both morally and physically.
But it's effects are none the less sure and
terrible. The victim loses all moral re-
sponsibilty, and passes from stage to
stage of indulgence, until overtaken by
imbecility or death.
An instance of the Obstructive nature
of this habit has just been made public.
Many of our readers will remember that,
ten or twelve years ago, one of its most
brilliant and readable contributors to
Scribncr's Magazine was Francis
Gerry Fairfield. For some time
Mr.. Fairheld's name has disappeared
from periodical literature, and many were
curious to know what had become of him.
Only few days ago Mr. Fairfield was
found dead in boarding house in New
York city-a victim Of the morphine habit
he and his wife had been addicted to NOR
phine and opium eating for several
years. Their worldly affairs had steadily
gone from bad to worse, until they became
incapable of taking care of themselves.
They separated and became objects of
charity Only few days before her hus
bands death from the effects of the drug
Mrs. Fairfield died among strangers and
was buried in the potter's .field.
Thus ended two once happy and promis
ing lives-cut off by the indulgence of an
insidiousi habit, which is constantly be
coming more general among the American
people. The sale of the drug, it is said, is
constantly increasing, and physicians are
obliged to include it among the frequent
causes of death. That the evil is a serious
one, is beyond question. How it is to be
checked is not so apparent.

Serious charges of immortality are made
against the Salvation Army as an organ
ization. Is asserted that the religious
character OF the organization is often Il
blind for the vilest and most degrading
practices. The case of a young woman in
Raleigh, N. C., who joined the army in
good faith, but left it because she found
herself the victim of gross imposition Is
in point Having pledged herself to obey
all orders received from her superors in
rank, she soon found that she
had been decoyedl into the or
ganization for the purpose of pro
curing her consent to marry one of the
members. She Indignantly refused, call
ed on the police for protection, aud aban-
doned the army" This case has called
attention to the subject, and the reporters
of several papers have been making inves
LEGATIONS as to the state of morals existing
in various attachments of the order. The
result is that evidence has been accumu-
lated that in many cases the Salvation
army is utilized for purposes of immoral
ity. The Rochester, N. Y, Democrat
says:
The meetings and the associations af-
ties for their vile work, and their success
is made doubly easy by holy professions
and the unreaSoning excitement to which
weak minded converts are aroused. Hap.
PLY, the Salvation army has come and
gone in Rochester, but it is flourishlng in
other parts of the country and doing its vile
work among the lower classes Reluctant
to condemn, the pulpit has heretofore
tacitly, If not openly, approved of the
army and its methods, but the time has
come when its powerful influence must be
used to eXterminate this infamous insult
to religion. There can no longer be a
doubt of the true character of the Saliva
ton army, and ministers need no longer
hesitate in denouncing it in the most I'M
equivocal terms, both in public and in
private.
This is perhaps too sweeping. All
members Of the society are probably not
open to such charges. The branch of the
army which existed in this city in feeble
way for some months was, we think, not
open to such charges, though it made it.
self disagreeable in some ways. But
while it perhaps did little HARM it also
did little positive good. There are no
doubt some honest, sincere and godly men
and women connected with the organiza-
ton, but as rule the Salvation army
seems to be composed of persons who are
weak both intellectually and morally.
